Removing DIMMs
This section discusses the procedure for removing DIMMs from your RSP8.
Use this procedure to remove the existing DIMMs:
Step1 Turn off the system power and follow the steps in the“Removing the RSP8” section on page 16.
Step2 Placethe RSP8 on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as
a wrist strap.
Step3 Position the RSP8 so that the faceplate is toward you and the bus connectors are away from you—this
position is shown inFigure 2.
Step4 Locate the DRAM DIMMs on the RSP8. The DIMMs occupy U12 (bank 0) and U15 (bank 1). (See
Figure 2.)
Step5 Open the DIMM socket release levers on the DIMM to release the DIMM from the socket. (See
Figure 14.) The DIMM is under tension in the socket;therefore, the DIMM might be released from the
socket with some force.
